The fight of Otto Schily
"Germany's interior minister, Otto Schily, is locked in a long-distance
struggle with one of the world's most notorious neo-Nazis over the right to
a web address.
The offending word is Bundesinnenministerium (or federal interior ministry).
Surfers who type in the address www.bundesinnenministerium.com expecting to
reach the interior ministry's homepage find instead a site decorated with
swastikas and a picture of a man sporting a Hitler moustache and wearing
Nazi uniform."

PS seems as if the Playboy interview got The Guardian some new readers.
